that aged very well with Adam winning panams

you beat me to it...polish worm rider against the best European athlete, from poland :P

And Meregali is evil Keenan

🇮🇪

How so?

@@origonalcreamcheese it takes bjj further away from its self-defence roots. it sucks the dynamics out of a fight too.

@Porrada Everyday I actually started in 2009, but I went mia for 15 years :) I'm not taking away credit to the skill and ingenuity, but I'm allowed an opinion.

@Porrada Everyday I started in 2007 or 2008, can't remember now. Either way I'm not that new to bjj (although I admit it feels like that sometimes). Of course bjj is a sport and it's not trained predominantly for self-defence, I don't expect that. What I'd like is just not severing the connection completely. I wouldn't play a de la Riva guard to subdue an actual opponent, sure - while I use it in competitions. There is a difference between some of the "non-practical" moves though. Some of them fit in as just elements of the game - but they're not good for stalling. You'll be using them at an opportunity, and inevitably switching away from them. Others tend to BECOME THE GAME. The "worm guard" falls into that category to me. It's not the same thing. And of course it's not the only example. I don't particularly like the new school of "sit down on your ass and start playing with eachother's feet for ten minutes until you win on an advantage". It's a good thing, if overdue, that they took an action against it (penalties for passivity come much more quickly now). You can ruin a sport doing everything by the book; it happened before.

like fighting in pijamas is a combat sport, you got no gi for that (ADCC/MMA). Gi jiu jitsu went sport all the way and this funky stuff is to counter other high lvl control jiu jitsu on this lvl, they still know the 'basic' working shit

Raspagem de gancho.

I’m not sure but I’m hoping it’s in his next butterfly instructional

@@giovaniveras8729 not everybody speaks mexican

@@poconagean , as a matter of fact, nobody speaks Mexican

And if you want to learn BJJ then "se vira pra entender português, porra"

Agree. You should receive points when you successfully pass a move on someone. Not with this BS

agreed, super cool hook sweep variation

he didn't make a mistake, the ref made a mistake. there's no way it should count as a takedown.

@@jackthompson852 i've read the rules. it doesn't matter if Keenan advanced, sneezed or levitated. the rules are quite clear: the opponent has to FORCE you to the ground. not the case here. any takedown attempt must be initiated BEFORE a guard pull in order to count. against, not the case here (watch it in slow motion). there isn't any explicit distinction of advancing vs retreating in IBJJF rules - certainly not among the ones that apply to takedowns. if you question any of that: please quote the rulebook.

vibovitold kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prGRas2FubTKXZc.html 2:50 You are absolutely correct. Just rewatched the IBJJF Takedown Tutorial.

@@jackthompson852 thanks, appreciate it! In ref's defence, it was a tough call - I have the luxury to watch the replay,, they didn't

they kicked him out. you can search the whole thing just by googling it have a nice day

Nature

ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

DENIS BEJTJA Keenan kicked Adams leg as Adam pulled guard so Keenan gets 2pts for a take down (foot sweep)

@@joshleondaris8664 thank you, it was so fast and smooth that I thought he just pulled guard as normal

The danger of guard pulling

@@joshleondaris8664 but he didn't. you can watch it in slow motion here on YT. Adam was already off his feet by the time Keenan's leg even touched him (it wasn't a kick, and certainly didn't affect the movement). it is perhaps an excusable mistake on the ref's part - you do need slow motion to tell for sure. but a mistake nevertheless. these points shouldn't have been awarded.

@@vibovitold interesting, that's why I wasn't sure about these points

so i understand that if you win olimpic gold in judo with koka/penalty you skip the medal?:)

Don't worry u never will

@@stateofnomind LOL. Calm down Miha :)

Like we don’t see people stall in closed guard lol

I think he tries to win with it to sell DVDs.

Wardzinski is way better now

@Porrada Everyday Im building a gym and managing a business that will provide for me and my family for a lifetime. there is nothing lazy about focusing on things that last longer than a brief career in a sport that doesnt pay you to compete. gordon will see this when hes approaching thirty too.

@keenan thank you for responding I am a great fan. I do see what you are talking about because I’m in my 40s and no disrespect I have made some changes in my game because of you. All I wanted to say is that if you use some traditional stuff along with your new guards then I think you could be on to something good. But keep up the good work

@@fritzdagger great to see your insight Keenan. I completely agree. While I'm only a purple belt, I'm 33 and you really start putting things into perspective when you get to your thirties. Hopefully by then people start to play the long game because time is a commodity you can't get back.

Nah

Yeah totally like butterfly guard is practical in a real fight

You don’t like it because you either can’t do it or learn it

Jesse this is The Worst of The Worst terrible
